WACKER’s nature-identical hydroxytyrosol offers effective UV protection for skin and hair, thus reducing skin aging as well as color-fading and bleaching of hair. This makes HTEssence^® ideal for the formulation of high-quality anti-aging creams, hair masks or leave-in conditioners.

The heart of the new logistics center in Zhangjiagang is a high-bay ware-house covering 4,000 square meters. All incoming and outbound goods are recorded electronically and distributed across the center’s 9,000 pallet bays by a computer-aided warehouse management system.

WACKER’s new Logistics Center in Zhangjiagang, China. Used as a distribution center for downstream silicone products manufactured on site, the new facility enables the company to supply its customers in the region even faster and with even greater flexibility.

The new 3D process of Munich-based WACKER operates with extreme precision. The printer robot produces structures with a line width of 0.6 millimeters. The silicone is placed drop by drop, and is immediately firm after application. That enables extremely precise contours to be produced.
